That's probably a good rule of thumb. However sometimes the shills cause people who usually have respectable dialogue to revert to vulgarity. In v/greatawakening today I witnessed this and I begin to wonder who's shilling who or who to believe. Upvotes don't always indicate a non shill. I guess all you can do is read and make your own decisions.

Also, let me just say that it's awesome that you come on here and respond to people! I can only imagine the amount of work it takes to keep this place afloat. Nothing could make me feel more at home than having a nice chat with the man that runs the house. Seriously, THANK YOU!
